| Rhizopus stolonifer is a very common mold that occurs on fruits, vegetables, breads and many others food items. It can be found on the farm, in the garden, in the fruit bowl or on leftovers from our refrigerators. It is also known as the “bread mold” as it is frequently found there happily consuming our bagels and breads…….or the “pin mold” because the small roundish spore masses looks like pin heads. In immunocompromised individuals it is capable of causing a dangerous opportunistic infection (zygomycosis). This 19 day time lapse movie shows what it can do to infected squash. Images were taken at various intervals throughout this period but usually at 15 minute intervals. |
